I have had paid subscriptions, but I prefer to make periodic donations instead. I make frequent donations to Aaron Parnas on Patreon and that works well for me
Mike, I'm so sorry for your predicament. You're right in saying our country is run by incompetents and worse! Stop the vanity projects and use that money for upgrading our aviation infrastructure. Hope you get home soon!
Agree ! The focus during this administration is grift and lining the pockets of the few.They know legal consequences are too slow so they go full speed ahead disregarding the possible laws + consequences They care for no one except themselves .However the people have spoken !
I know this phase is far in the political future but I relish the day these useless nabobs have to face prison time. They all fit right in with the embodiment of Evil and Greed, foundational to this regime of sickos. 🤮
Restore the 90% tax rate on mega-corporations, with no loopholes! Tax billionaires at 50%, with no loopholes! Get that stolen money back into circulation, upgrading infrastructure and fully funding public education!
Nine members of the Kennedy family are fighting to protect Arlington National Cemetery from President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch! The family has asked a federal judge for permission to join lawsuits challenging the massive structure, arguing that it would cast shadows over the graves of their loved ones and obstruct the historic view between the John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.
Among those taking action are seven children of Robert F. Kennedy, including Rory and Maxwell Kennedy, who say their efforts are about protecting sacred spaces and preserving the dignity of those buried at Arlington. The family argues that the Trump administration has failed to follow established laws and procedures designed to protect national memorials. A federal judge has already temporarily blocked construction, and the Kennedy family's involvement could strengthen the ongoing legal challenge.
Add your name to recognize the Kennedy family's efforts to protect Arlington National Cemetery, preserve these historic memorials, and ensure that America's sacred spaces are protected for future generations!
Since petitions are meaningless and don't influence anything, can you share who is profiting from this? The great lawyers the Kennedys can afford to hire will do more than millions of signatures on petitions.
This week especially Joe Kennedy III, since his group Groundwork Project was one of the groups working in Mississippi that contributed to Scott Colom's win. He's very unlike his uncle!
I just want educated, qualified, responsible people running our government. Republicans main goal for the last 40 years is to destroy good government. We have to make this stop
I think this started with the Bush/Gore election. At least it did for me. W was touted as "a guy you could have a beer with."Ah, hell no! I want the smartest goddamn guy in the room! Al Gore was clearly the better option. He would almost certainly have populated his administration with a cadre of talented individuals. Instead, we got "Brownie". Now we have the Duffster and an MMA retiree. (Not to mention all the other pretty faces...)
I agree that we have a government that has no interest in improving our lives or our country...but those running it are all for a government where they can get away with stealing our tax dollars to increase their own wealth. I hope you get home soon to your little boy!
Mike, I'm glad you mentioned the economy. So far you're the only one I've seen who's mentioned what an epic disaster the ground stop has done to businesses relying on prompt air cargo deliveries. Frozen and fresh foods, flowers, to name a few, that must arrive at their destinations on time. Businesses have been suffering losses enough with the high cost of fuel, manpower shortages (if they have immigrant labor), the tariffs, and now this. There's also the insurance claims to come. Also, I hope no one has died waiting for an organ for a transplant or became sicker because they were on a plane or about to board a plane for some critical medical procedure at Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, etc. It's not just about inconvenienced passengers though I understand your feelings completely. As I said, epic disaster and I wish the media had mentioned more than just the typical passenger.
I agree with you Mike. It’s like a slow death by a thousand cuts. I listen/read you every day and keep hoping the citizens can keep it going until the MAGAts are dealt with. Thank you.
They probably did a no bid contract to someone’s unvetted friend who said he could fix the system. Spent the $20 billion we already gave them, broke the system and now want $50 billion more. Can’t wait for this administration to be gone. Unfortunately, the country will be broke and need a total rebuild.
As soon as Mullin opened his mouth and said what a great President Trump is, I knew this whole situation could likely have been prevented or at least not have included grounding all flights. I agree with your assessment completely and hope you made it home to your family.
Congress DELETEs all ICE government employees. They are nothing but MAGA thugs and killers. Remember Alex Pretti and Rena Good, who were killed by ICE agents for no reason? Then Pam Bondi lied about the killing of innocents by standers by ICE agents. Even Donald Trump lied about the two killings. Which is no surprise from the Father of Lying.
I hope you sort out your situation. My only consolation was thinking that the ultra-wealthy's private flying yachts were grounded too. I'm wary of the idea that AI can replace live air traffic controllers. Sean Duffy is creating an untenable atmosphere of mistrust in the minds of controllers who are legally barred from striking. I wouldn't trust Sean Duffy to set up a paper airplane contest.
Mike, so sorry. I know you love your weekends with your family. Aaron Parnas posted this morning also and he was upset about missing his wife and infant daughter.
This did not have to happen. Any crucial system should have a parallel system or redundant systems running. This is gross incompetence. You do not bring up a live system that fails this spectacularly, it just is not done. You test over and over then you do a beta test before ever considering going live. They claim the system went down b/c it could not handle the volume. That is BS. They knew the stats of the number of calls and that would have been handled in the analysis and the testing.

Aaron is also stuck in this mess, and I do not think I have ever seen him this upset as he was this morning.

NOT ONE MORE FLUFFING PENNY…get it from the ICE prison coffers or Jared!!!🤮🤮🤮

The Trump family is making billions in war material.
So you think they're behind all these petitions? I'm unclear what you mean.
We love all of the Kennedys except Robert F. Kennedy. jr.

Well, you did have some experienced, technically competent people behind the scenes (Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie etc). They just had rotten goals.
Good point. I fear that Russell Vought was cast in that mold as well, smart but focusing his smarts on the wrong things.

Thank you for reminding us that there was more to this disaster than just the inconveniencing the passengers.

I know how you feel Mike Nellis, but at least you're able to keep contact with your son, God Bless you and your family 💙🇨🇱⚕️🌀🌊⚕️🦋🩷
Stated perfectly. Our government is populated by people who do not believe in government.. Hence we witness the results..
!000's of these scary can't do peoples, that is a worry!
